APPLES MOTION FOR ONGOINGROYALTIES
CASE NO.12-cv-00630-LHK (PSG)

sf-3453759
I. INTRODUCTION
On August 27, 2014, the Court denied Apples motion for a permanent injunction. (Dkt.
1953.) In light of the Courts ruling, Apple now moves for an order: (1) requiring Samsung to
pay royalties under Paice for ongoing and future infringing sales of Samsung products that the
jury found to infringe, as well as Samsung products not more than colorably different therefrom
(see Dkt. 1884 at 2-6, 9), and (2) setting a briefing schedule and, if necessary, a hearing to
determine the appropriate amount of the ongoing royalty. While Apple believes that it has been
and continues to be irreparably harmed by Samsungs infringement and that only injunctive relief
would suffice to remedy that harm and Apple will urge that position before the Federal Circuit
Apple is, at the very least, entitled to the partial remedy of an ongoing royalty under Paice
given the Courts denial of injunctive relief.
The law is clear that when a court denies a permanent injunction an ongoing royalty is
appropriate to compensate, at least in part, for ongoing and future infringing sales. Paice LLC v.
Toyota Motor Corp., 504 F.3d 1293, 1315 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (Paice I). As with injunctive relief,
any ongoing royalties extend not only to ongoing sales of products found to infringe by the jury,
but also to products not more than colorably different therefrom. E.g., I/P Engine, Inc. v. AOL
Inc., No. 2:11cv512, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7876, at *9-11 (E.D. Va. Jan. 21, 2014) (applying
ongoing royalty to adjudicated product and any new products not more than colorably
different); see also Dkt. 1953 at 38:23-24 (Order Denying Apples Motion for Permanent
Injunction) (However, the not more than colorably different provision is standard in
injunctions.).
To determine the appropriate rate for an ongoing royalty, Apple proposes an orderly
briefing schedule as set forth in Section III.B below.
II. ARGUMENT
A. Apple Is Entitled To Ongoing Royalties Under Paice Given The Courts
Denial Of Apples Motion For Permanent Injunction

In the absence of an injunction, a patentee is entitled to receive ongoing royalties to
compensate him, at least in part, for the loss of his lawful right to exclude others from profiting

from his invention. See, e.g., Paice I, 504 F.3d at 1315; Paice LLC v. Toyota Motor Corp., 609 F.
Supp. 2d 620, 630 (E.D. Tex. 2009) (Paice II) (awarding running royalties on remand); see
also Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. v. W.L. Gore & Assocs., Inc., 670 F.3d 1171, 1192 (Fed. Cir.
2012) (The award of an ongoing royalty instead of a permanent injunction to compensate for
future infringement is appropriate in some cases.) (citations omitted). As with injunctive relief,
ongoing royalties are equitable in nature and may be imposed by the district court without a trial
by jury. Paice I, 504 F.3d at 1315-16. Parties should be given a meaningful chance to present
evidence to the district court on an appropriate royalty rate to compensate [plaintiff] for
[defendants] future acts of infringement. Id. at 1316 (Rader, J., concurring).
Here, the Court denied Apples motion for a permanent injunction, concluding that
monetary remedies would more appropriately remedy Samsungs infringement than would an
injunction. (Dkt. 1953 at 35:23-24.) Apple respectfully maintains that it has been and will
continue to be irreparably harmed by Samsungs infringement, that the harm cannot be fully
quantified or compensated with money damages, and that only injunctive relief will remedy that
harm. Nonetheless, Apple is entitled to receive at least an ongoing royalty to partially
compensate for Samsungs ongoing infringement of Apples patents through sales of the
infringing products and products that are not more than colorably different from the infringing
products. See Telcordia Techs., Inc. v. Cisco Sys., Inc., 612 F.3d 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (ongoing
royalty appropriate where patentee had not been compensated for defendants continuing
infringement); Paice II, 609 F. Supp. 2d at 630. For example, Samsungs infringing sales
continued after the verdict even though the jury determined that claim 9 of the 647 patent is valid
and infringed using a claim construction that the Federal Circuit has already confirmed on appeal
in Apple Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., 757 F.3d 1286 (Fed. Cir. 2014). (See Dkt. 1847 at 30 (Final Jury
Instruction No. 22); Dkt. 1884 at 2, 7 (Amended Final Jury Verdict); see also Tr. at 2969:21-
2972:11; 2976:13-18 (4/25/14); Tr. at 3014:16-24; 3016:4-3112:3 (Mowry, Jeffay) (4/28/14).)
And claim 9 of the 647 patent has also passed scrutiny under reexamination by the PTO. (See
Tr. at 1024:12-22 (Dkt. 1624).)
This Court has recognized that it is standard for an injunction against infringement to

prevent sale of products not more than colorably different from a product included in the
verdict. (Dkt. 1953 at 38:23-24.) Where a court orders an ongoing monetary award in lieu of an
injunction, the award of ongoing royalties extends not only to infringing products but also to
products not more than colorably different from the infringing products. I/P Engine, 2014 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 7876, at *9-11 (applying ongoing royalty to adjudicated product and any new
products not more than colorably different); Mondis Tech., Ltd. v. Chimei Innolux Corp., No.
2:11-cv-378-JRG, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 60004, at *6-8 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 30, 2012) (same);
Creative Internet Adver. Corp. v. Yahoo! Inc., 674 F. Supp. 2d 847, 855 (E.D. Tex. 2009) (same);
Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. v. Rambus Inc., No. 5:00-cv-20905-RMW, ECF No. 3911, slip op. at 5
(N.D. Cal. Mar. 10, 2009) (ongoing royalty on products adjudged infringing and those no more
than colorably different).
In the absence of an injunction, Apple thus is entitled to an order granting an ongoing
royalty in an amount to be set by the Court on all ongoing and future infringing sales of
adjudicated products as well as products not more than colorably different from the adjudicated
products. Apple respectfully requests that the Court order Samsung to pay such a royalty and
establish a schedule to determine the amount of the royalty.
B. Apple Respectfully Requests A Briefing Schedule And, If Necessary, A
Hearing To Set The Amount Of The Ongoing Royalty

Because an ongoing royalty for future infringement is an equitable remedy, courts may
determine the appropriate ongoing royalty rate without first holding a jury trial. Paice I, 504 F.3d
at 1315-16. As the Federal Circuit has recognized, [t]here is a fundamental difference . . .
between a reasonable royalty for pre-verdict infringement and damages for post-verdict
infringement. Amado v. Microsoft Corp., 517 F.3d 1353, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2008). [P]re-suit and
post-judgment acts of infringement are distinct, and may warrant different royalty rates given the
change in the parties legal relationship and other factors. Id. at 1361-62 (citing Paice I, 504
F.3d at 1317 (Rader, J., concurring)). Consequently, in determining ongoing royalty rates, courts
routinely award Paice royalties at amounts at or above the rate implied in a jury award. See, e.g.,
Creative Internet Adver. Corp. v. Yahoo! Inc., 674 F. Supp. 2d 847, 861 (E.D. Tex. 2009) (noting

[t]he Federal Circuit has instructed that post-verdict infringement should typically entail a higher
royalty rate than the reasonable royalty found at trial) (citing Amado v. Microsoft Corp., 517
F.3d 1353, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2008)); I/P Engine, Inc. v. AOL Inc., No. 11-512, 2014 WL 309245, at
*2-4 (E.D. Va. Jan. 28, 2014) (ongoing royalty of nearly twice the jurys rate); Telcordia Tech.
Inc. v. Cisco Sys., Inc., No. 04-876-GMS, 2014 WL 1457797, at *5 (D. Del. Apr. 14, 2014)
(awarding royalty at nearly twice the jurys rate); Affinity Labs of Tex., LLC v. BMW N. Am.,
LLC, 783 F. Supp. 2d 891, 901 (E.D. Tex. 2011) (noting that courts have commonly awarded
post-trial premiums in the range of 33% to 50% of the royalty rate for past damages found by the
jury); Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. v. W.L. Gore & Assocs., No. CV-03-597, 2010 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 144259, at *13-14 (D. Ariz. Sept. 8, 2010) (awarding royalty up to twice the jurys rate),
appeal dismissed, 346 Fed. Appx. 580, 592 (Fed. Cir. 2009); Paice II, 609 F. Supp. 2d at 630
(awarding royalty at four times the jurys rate). The parties should be given a meaningful
chance to present evidence to the district court on an appropriate royalty rate to compensate
[plaintiff] for [defendants] future acts of infringement. Paice I, 504 F.3d at 1316 (Rader, J.,
concurring).
Here, now that the Court has denied Apples request for injunctive relief, Apple seeks an
ongoing royalty to partially recover for Samsungs ongoing and future infringement of the 647
patent at a rate of at least $2.75 per infringing product, at least $2.30 per unit for the 172 patent,
and at least $1.41 per unit for the 721 patentthe implied per-product amounts awarded by the
jury for Samsungs past infringement of these patents. (See Dkt. 1919-3, at 17:16-18 (Apples
Reply ISO JMOL).) To determine the final rate that shall apply, Apple proposes that the Court
adopt the following schedule:

Two weeks after an Order
granting Apple an ongoing
royalty
Deadline for Apple to submit opening papers in
support of a proposed ongoing royalty rate
Two weeks after Apples
opening brief
